A weird problem.

Aeroblyctos · Dec 16, 2008

I have a problem. In the first cinematic, part 1, I can't see almost anything. However, after the cinematic 1, part 1, everything seems to be working fine. I mean, cinematic 1, part 2 works perfectly.

Look at the picture and the triggers. I really wonder how I can fix this. I really want to see something in the first part of the cinematic!

could you maybe show a picture of how it should look like? well, all i see is a little too much fog, did you check the density settings of the function Fog2Fog?

wolfman · Dec 17, 2008

ya im not sure but i think this might be the problem
Custom script: call Fog2Fog( 3000.0 , 0.200 , 0.200 , 0.200 , 0.1 )
Cuz thats the only thing that i could see that might be wrong cuz for ur other fog the values are different (except for first and last ones)
Cuz that picture looks like there is just waaaaaaay too much fog. But that actually looks like a fade filter cuz the bottom is darker than the top, maybe Ground Fog fade filter? Either that or the Haze and Fog fade filter (i get these confused, one has top darker the other has bottom darker)

Aeroblyctos · Dec 17, 2008

Ye, but I use that same fog in later and then it works perfectly. I mean, that value I give [ Custom script: call Fog2Fog( 3000.0 , 0.200 , 0.200 , 0.200 , 0.1 )] will work later. You can see units, doodads, etc with that value. But why it does not work in the first cinematic, part 1?

This is really weird.......

By the way, here's the jass script for that fog system.

JASS:

//TESH.scrollpos=32
//TESH.alwaysfold=0

// tarttet nää 2 functioo, kopsaa nää

function FogIsChanging takes nothing returns nothing
     local real zend = udg_F_ZEndNow + udg_F_ZEndTic
     local real red = udg_F_RedNow + udg_F_RedTic
     local real green = udg_F_GreenNow + udg_F_GreenTic
     local real blue = udg_F_BlueNow + udg_F_BlueTic
     if zend < 0 then
         set zend = 0
     endif
     if red < 0 then
         set red = 0
     else
         if red > 100 then
             set red = 100
         endif
     endif
     if green < 0 then
         set green = 0
    else
         if green > 100 then
             set green = 100
         endif
     endif
     if blue < 0 then
         set blue = 0
    else
         if blue > 100 then
             set blue = 100
         endif
     endif
     call SetTerrainFogEx(0,0.0,zend,0.0,red,green,blue)
     set udg_F_ZEndNow = zend
     set udg_F_RedNow = red
     set udg_F_GreenNow = green
     set udg_F_BlueNow = blue
     set udg_F_Tics = udg_F_Tics - 1
     if udg_F_Tics <= 0 then
         call PauseTimer(udg_F_Timer)
         set udg_F_FogChange = false
     endif
endfunction

function Fog2Fog takes real ZEnd, real Red, real Green, real Blue, real Time returns nothing
     set udg_F_Tics = R2I(Time / 0.03)
     set udg_F_ZEndTic = ( ZEnd - udg_F_ZEndNow ) / udg_F_Tics
     set udg_F_RedTic = ( Red - udg_F_RedNow ) / udg_F_Tics
     set udg_F_GreenTic = ( Green - udg_F_GreenNow ) / udg_F_Tics
     set udg_F_BlueTic = ( Blue - udg_F_BlueNow ) / udg_F_Tics
     if udg_F_FogChange == false and udg_F_ZEndTic != 0 and udg_F_RedTic != 0 and udg_F_GreenTic != 0 and udg_F_BlueTic != 0 then
         call TimerStart(udg_F_Timer,0.03,true,function FogIsChanging)
         set udg_F_FogChange = true
     endif
endfunction

i have no idea what the problem could be. unless its maybe in another trigger? but thats prolly unlikely

Aeroblyctos · Dec 18, 2008

I have currently 617 triggers in chapter 6 but I go check if something makes things buggy... But it's just in the beginning of game. After that fog/screen works perfectly and you can see units, etc.

Emm-A- · Dec 18, 2008

hm maybe there is another fadefilter, that doesnt run out correctly, or you run a trigger with a fadefilter in it by accident..

Aeroblyctos · Dec 19, 2008

I was today searching the problem. It can't be other triggers, I checked. I also terminated one buy one triggers and tested. There was no a single trigger that did this. This is really, really strange.

Is it possible that the trigger itself is corrupted somehow? Or that some triggers together will make things bugful? I really have lost my hope with this case.

Kitabatake and Viikuna(the maker of fog system) also tried to help me, both didn't find anything.

Emm-A- · Dec 20, 2008

how about just remaking he whole trigger in a sepparate map? ... i guess there is something with triggers crashing together, you didnt find it maybe, so yeah, just remake this trigger in a little test map.
If this one works, import it and see if the fog problem is there again.
Maybe there is a problem with a bj_Last_blabla variable, because transmission functions use many of them...

i dont know if GUI triggers can be corrupted or not, but it could be possible with those bj_Things

Aeroblyctos · Dec 20, 2008

Okay, I will redo it tomorrow.

EDIT: I made a vision to there, and everything started to work. Does cinematics should have map visible all the time? I wonder what's going on, because it wasn't in that place.

+rep to everyone who have at least tried to help me

A weird problem.
